DREEAM Horizon2020

DREEAM stands for Demonstrating an integrated Renovation approach for Energy Efficiency At the Multi-building scale. DREEAM is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The core of DREEAM is to identify optimal combinations of technologies to support housing companies and cities in scaling up their renovation ambitions. It aims to show that renovating at a larger scale opens the opportunity for a better integration of renewable energies and is generally more cost-effective: technologies become cheaper per unit and smart energy management systems work best in connected systems.Energy efficient renovations in the building sector are key to reducing energy consumption in the coming years: DREEAM demonstrates that a multi-building and single-owner renovation approach can achieve up to 75% reduction of total energy demand. Our integrated approach offers:- Strategic decision support for INVESTMENT PLANNING, integrating sustainability goals into long-term financial strategies.- RENOVATION DESIGN tool “Key DREEAM innovation” that allows online access designs for multibuilding projects and optimized nZEB renovation.- Technical QUALITY ASSURANCE supervision during renovation works with tailor-made plans and 3 supervision visits.- Detailed ENERGY CONSUMPTION ANALYSIS & monitoring throughout the renovation process.- TENANT ENGAGEMENT before & after renovation, including validation of planned renovation and coaching on energy saving. The DREEAM approach is implemented on pilot sites in the UK (Padiham), Italy (Treviso) and Germany (Berlin), with possible replicable concepts throughout Europe - submit your interest here http://dreeam.eu/contact/
